Joelinton’s mansion monitored by robbers
According to reports from the Sun, the Newcastle midfielder was watching his team face Man City when he received a security alert on his phone.
He phoned the police immediately while he was at St. James' Park, and they hurried to the Northumberland address just after 7:30 p.m.
The perpetrators had already left the multi-million dollar Darras Hall residence by the time police arrived.
Reports also suggest that at the time of the attack, no one was inside the house. Investigations into the raid at the 27-year-old's residence are still ongoing, and no arrests have been made.
A Northumbria Police spokesperson said as reported by the Sun, “Shortly before 7.30 pm yesterday police received a call from a concerned homeowner who reported that three men were inside their home in Darras Hall.
“Thankfully the homeowner was not home but had received a security alert on their phone and immediately reported concerns to police.
“Police were deployed to the scene however, those alleged to be involved had fled the scene.
“Enquiries remain ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact us via 101, or the ‘Report’ pages of our website, quoting log NP-20240113-0835.”
